A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34052 is a deep, subdued gray with a slight olive-green undertone. It reads low in chroma, with only a small amount of yellow-green in the cast, so the color looks more muted than clearly green.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference is useful for touch-up and repaint work on panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, cabinets, rails, and support hardware, as well as fabricated parts, training mock-ups, and color-coded equipment where a spec-driven match is needed across metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.

Because this is a dark, low-LRV color, surface texture, film build, and sheen can be noticeable after spraying. Dark coatings often make sanding marks, edge build, and gloss differences easier to see, and coverage over a lighter or uneven substrate can take careful preparation and more than one coat.

For procurement or maintenance work, a match to the standard reference is not the same as matching an aged in-service coating. Weathering, heat, and handling can shift the look of an existing part, so adjacent repairs may read differently even when the code is correct. If you are matching a visible installed surface, a sample or existing-part comparison can help reduce risk.

About US Government Federal Standard (now Aerospace Material Specification / AMS) 595 Colors. Fed-Std-595C / FED STD 595 Colors

The Federal Standard (now Aerospace Material Specification / AMS) 595 colors are used to specify colors for US Government applications. The color are used by the US Government agencies, branches and suppliers. The most common requests we receive for Fed Standard Colors are for spray paint, Direct to Metal and other paints for prototyping, marking and identification and touchup applications. Typical clients include the USCG, all branches of the Armed Services, the State Department, Lockheed Martin and Boeing. For example, we provided paint to the Navy for marking shells with the specific Fed Std color designated to identify the type of round.

We offer 5 standard sheens in our lacquer touchup paint: flat, low lustre, satin, semi-gloss or gloss. We also offer a full range of Alkyd and Acrylic Direct To Metal paints. Please contact us if you have any questions. Please submit RFQs to [email protected]

The colors in the Federal Standard set have no official names and are identified by five-digits. The numbers designate the sheen, color classification and color intensity.

The first digit will be 1,2 or 3 and indicates the level of sheen:
    1 = gloss
    2 = semi gloss
    3 = matt

The second digit indicates the color group;
    0 = Brown     5 = Blue
    1 = Red         6 = Grey
    2 = Orange 7 = Other (white, black, violet, metallic)
    3 = Yellow     8 = Fluorescent
    4 = Green

The third to fifth digits indicate the intensity. Lower numbers indicates a darker color and higher numbers indicate a lighter color.

While the Fed Std colors indicate sheen as part of the 5 digits, MyPerfectColor still requires you to enter a specific sheen. For example, the color Fed Std 37038 technically refers to a matte finish, but MyPerfectColor offers it in any sheen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of US Government™ AMS-STD-595 34052 *

What does AMS-STD-595 34052 define, and what does it not define?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34052 is a government color reference target. It defines the color you are trying to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion system, application method, or formal approval status.

For ordering, treat this as MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match AMS-STD-595 34052, not as an official government-issued coating system.

Will AMS-STD-595 34052 match an older coating well for a touch-up repair?

It may, but an existing in-service coating can look different from the standard because of weathering, fading, sheen change, texture, and prior coating differences. Even when the color code is correct, a spot repair beside aged paint can still stand out.

For visible repairs, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be the better choice if the surrounding finish has changed over time.

Can AMS-STD-595 34052 be used for interior, exterior, or higher-wear service?

The color code alone does not decide whether the product is right for interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical exposure, or a specific substrate. Those needs depend on the coating system you choose, not just the color reference.

If your project has durability or environment requirements, select the product format and coating type based on the service conditions first, then match the color to AMS-STD-595 34052.

What MyPerfectColor product formats can I order for AMS-STD-595 34052?

MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint made to match AMS-STD-595 34052 in available formats such as spray paint, touch-up paint, paint pens, and other options where offered.

The color code is the reference target. It does not mean you are ordering an official government coating system.

What kinds of projects commonly use AMS-STD-595 34052?
